Parallax customers enjoy building Halloween projects using our microcontrollers, so I’m providing a quick list of ideas for you. What’s the strength Parallax brings to Halloween projects? BlocklyProp! BlocklyProp is the easiest way to control servos, play *.wav files, and control LEDs of all kinds. See the BlocklyProp reference and learn how single blocks can be used to control sensors, motors, and structure programs just the way you’d like them to play out.
My project is the “Spooky Doll” shown above. I built this several years ago from a nearly-retired doll who lost his left arm in a quadcopter accident and experienced a burn from an unrelated accident with a LiPo battery. If you’d like to see how Spooky Doll was made, follow the first link below.
Happy Halloween, spooksters!
